Sororities Strive For Unity
As an integral part of the
Greek system, the three
sororites of ACC campus hold a
special meeting for many girls.
Each sorority is affiliated
nationally and established as a
college chapter of its national
organization.
The Delta Zeta, Phi Mu, and
Poe Is Alive At ACC
New York actor JERRY
ROCKWOOD who does for
Edgar Allan Poe what Hal
Holbrook does for Mark Twain
will bring his one man show
“EDGAR ALLAN POE” “A
Condition of Shadow” to Howard
Chapel on October 23, 8:00 P.M.
For one performance only.
Winnter of the Barter Theatre
Award at the age of 23, Rock-
wood’s performance as the
tragic poet-short story writer
represents his most mature
work in a 25-year career in the
theater. Drawing from Poe’s
mystery tales, his wonderfully
lyrical poetry, personnal letters,
essays and even marginal notes,
Jerry Rockwood uses this
material to create an in-depth
characterization of the famous
American writer, revealing the
agonizing conflicts of his per
sonality, his tortured poverty
stricken life, his insanity and his
ultimate destruction.
The talented five-foot-eight
inch actor is exactly the same
height as Poe and bears a strong
resemblance to him. He has
directed extensively in com
munity theaters, off-Bway,
summer theaters and colleges

Gamma Delta Iota Plans
For all of you who are in
terested in being involved in a
social group, helping people in
our community and on campus,
help making spirit on campus, or
anything you want to do please
read on.

Charles Butts and Marsha
Cunningham enjoy themselves at
a recent outing. With the weather
cooperating, the club had a
marvelous time. .Many such
events dot the schedule of the
organization. (Photo by Jimmy

Gamma Delta Iota has many
things happening to make people
get involved. During the sum
mer and this year, we have
already done many things.
During the summer a freshman
and transfer register was
printed and sent out to the new
students to help them get
acquainted with each other. As
far as we know this project will
be continued next year.
One of the goals of our club is
to help people get to know each
other, so the early part of this
semester we had a cookout. The
purpose of this cookout was to
welcome new members. We had
about 50 people attend this
cookout and it was a blast 1 Other
cookouts are planned for future
dates.
Since we are new we don’t
have the funds for a float for
Homecoming, so we are going to
work with other small
organizations to help decorate
the center campus for the Pig
Picking. That’s what we want to
do, work with other people, not
against them. We are trying to
get small organizations involved
in group sports, such as playing
another organization in
volleyball just for fun. This is in
the blueprint stage, but we are
working on a schedule.
If anyone has some ideas to
help our campus, let us know.
We meet every Thursday night
at 6:30 in Hines 208. Everyone is
welcome to come and meet new
faces and make new friends and
try to get involved.
Tri Sigma chapters are unified
by the Panhellenic Association
which governs, legislates,
strengthens, and promotes
Greek life on campus. With Dean
Ward as an advisor, each
sorority has an equal voice in the
Panhellenic Association through
its representatives, namely, its
president, a senior delegate, and
a junior delegate. There is a
rotation of offices between the
three sororities in this governing
body. In the future, a Junior
Panhellenic Association may be
set up for the pledges of all
sororities. This would hopefully
give members experience
learning how the system works
before actual involvement with
the Panhellenic Association
itself. The Panhellenic
Association attempts to promote
campus activities involving
many students as a way of
campus unification. For
example, a powder puff football
game is hopefully to be
scheduled for this year.
Each sorority on campus has
its own unique characteristics.
However, all three have the
purpose of providing member
girls with scholarship, high
standards, and lasting friend
ships. They strive to help not
only Greeks, but non-Greeks as
well. This is done partially
through an attempt to obtain
better understandings and
relationships among all
students, faculty, and the ad
ministration alike.
In addition, the sororities
involve ther members with
philanthropy programs locally
and nationally. Delta Zeta
supports programs to help those
with impaired hearing. The
major philanthropy of Phi Mu
lies in the support of the U. S.
Hope, once a hospital ship, and
now a symbol for overseas
medical air. Tri Sigma has
participated in a program to aid
polio research. The sorority now
participates in another stage of
this program to provide im
proved hospital facilities for the
care and rehabilitation of
children.
The sororities sponsor many
campus activities each year.
